people did not put john boehner into office to equivocate and become a democrat like. tom: you're her the republican party has to change. >> mitt romney moves to the middle on a lot of issues and it got him a lost election. at the end of the day there are issues. there are things that are right and there are things that are wrong. president obama's tax hikes would need to crucify small businesses in this country like along with obamacare, it is a crushing blow to the ethereal spirit and the bottom line. you already see businesses maneuver and they are not going to hire more than 25 employees or work over 30 hours and this tax hike on over people who make under $50,000, the majority of those are small businesses. by the way, this is a big old news flash. 2%. 2.1% of the population makes 250. come on. tom: it is the same answer the president has given before. a lot of surveys lately, we understand, it won't fix the deficit. you think it is going to? no, but what is it for? it is because of fairness. >> that is what i want people to understand the president obama does not
